All superb areas that present the kpi's that you are looking for rentals.

My first major difficulty and where I am stuck is that I know I don't want to invest in a zero appreciation play, so I think this means I have to assess (1)cashflow + (2)forced appreciation available through property/tenant improvement + (3)future appreciation to analytically compare any potential purchases.

I would say thus far only about 10% of tenants do a superb cleaning job. 90% of time its a poor job and things need to be additionally clean. 

Ideally i would like to be able to upload photos, sort by ratings, create analytic reports etc etc. 

Hi Alan,People around here are very analytical and the difference in your numbers between one post to the next is what's possibly keeping them from responding.

Since this post the rental rates in Toledo and the surrounding area have skyrocketed and the price to rent ratio is superb.

Superb.

Will thanks for clearing that up, that sounds about right, because when you and cornell said between 25% - 50% or more something just didn't sound right, especially after i had spoke with that gentlemen and he told me finding deals like that is extremely rare.so it was just a mix up of the words on eveyones part, but anyway like i told cornell some of these terms people in the industry actually use them incorrectly which confuses people like myself which are so analytical and about the facts.and to answer cornells question (which i'm not all that knowledgeable about CRE investing), the reason why i think the CoC return is important is because it gives you a basic time frame without counting on to much forced appreciation of how long it'll take to get your money back (which you already stated), so it's a good ratio to know and communicate to your investors who only want to know three things, 1- the amount of interest they'll be earning on their money, 2- is there money safe, 3- "how fast will they get all of there money back", it lets them know that this is long term investment so don't expect all your money back to soon.now this is why i think its important (this could be wrong or right, but this is what i think), now there could be some other reasons of why the CoC return is important that i may not be aware of at the moment.
